Settling an Oxford Home

Client & Job Details: Job performed for John of Oxford, Mississippi on May 29th, 2024.

  • The Problem

    A foundation inspection from our team identified significant settlement occurring along one side of this home. The uneven settlement was causing the home to sink on one side. If left unaddressed, this progressive settlement would continue to worsen, potentially leading to more severe structural issues down the line.

  • Our Solution

We excavated along the affected side of the home and installed our push piers, securing the foundation to the pier system for permanent stabilization.

Results

This foundation repair project successfully resolved all the settlement issues affecting the home. The concrete push pier installation effectively halted the settlement and allowed for leveling of the previously sinking side. The concrete push pier system provides a permanent solution that will protect the structural integrity of this home for years to come.

Digging a new foundation.

Prepare Your Home for Foundation Repair

Written by American Standard Foundation Repair on . Posted in Blog.

Preparing Your Home for Foundation Repair Services

Prep Your Home for a Foundation Repair Job the Right Way

Starting a foundation repair project may seem daunting, but proper preparation can facilitate a smooth, seamless, and effective process. At American Standard Foundation Repair (ASFR), we recognize your concerns, and you can be confident that we will handle your repairs promptly and efficiently. To assist you in preparing for the repairs, we have created this guide to aid Memphis homeowners in getting ready for residential foundation repair.

Digging a new foundation.

Spotting the Signs

Before repairs start, it’s crucial to recognize any foundation issues and possible future problems. This way, you can describe exactly what’s been going on to your foundation repair contractor. Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks on Walls or Floors: Minor cracks may signify hidden issues.
  • Doors or Windows Sticking: If you’re having trouble opening or closing your doors or windows, this could be a warning sign that you have foundation issues.
  • Uneven Floors: Visible sagging or sloping may indicate that your foundation is settling.
  • Separating Ceilings and Floors: Ceilings and floors that are detaching from the walls are clear indicators of foundation issues.
  • Bowing Walls: Walls appearing to lean or bow indicate a need for foundation repairs.

If you notice any of these signs, promptly contact American Standard Foundation Repair for a comprehensive evaluation.

Choosing the Right Team

The next step in preparing your home for foundation repair is to find the right team for the job. American Standard Foundation Repair has earned the title of Best Basement/Foundation/Waterproofing Service Company in the Commercial Appeal’s 2024 Memphis Most Community Choice Awards. Plus, we are backed by more than 18 years of experience, cutting-edge technology, and a team of committed professionals. We work diligently to restore the stability and strength of your home’s foundation.

Communication is Key

As the next step in the repair process, we will thoroughly assess any damage once reaching your home. Below are examples of the topics we will cover with you before we begin the repair process:

    • The Repair Plan: We will assist you in understanding the materials and techniques we will use for your foundation repairs.
    • Set a Timeline: We’ll make sure you’re aware of the project’s timeline and any factors that could impact it.
    • Clarify Costs: We will ensure you understand the expenses and that they are clearly documented and transparent.

    Maintaining open communication with our repair team during this process ensures all expectations are fulfilled.

    Steps to a Smooth Repair Process

    • Clean Exterior Access: Clear away plants, decorative objects, and any blockages near the foundation to create sufficient workspace. If you have a large landscape, think about moving plants temporarily to avoid harming them.
    • Secure Interior Spaces: Safely store delicate items and remove wall decorations, as the repair work may cause minor indoor movement. Protect your furniture with a covering to guard against dust and residue.
    • Ensure Safety for All: Ensure that small children and pets are kept away from work areas to avoid accidents.

    Depending on the repairs being performed, we may need to temporarily shut off water, electricity, and natural gas to your home. Ensure that our team has ample space to work, allowing for complete visibility and mobility. A clean and clear area enables our foundation repair specialists to complete the job more safely and efficiently.
